Israel finds itself in the middle of all that. Israel most definitely has committed atrocities in response. But when your attacked like Israel was, the warmongers take control. It's a vicious cycle, but we're not allowed to talk about one side of it.

For once … just once … will you stop pretending that the world began on 10/7/2023?

The irony being that they're demanding Gen Z remain as ignorant and brainwashed as them. The only way to defend Israel is by ignoring every Oct 7 experienced by Palestinians from the moment Irgun, Haganah, Lehi, Stern Gang, etc showed up to bomb, kill, torture, rape, etc, which then leads to Israelis experiencing ONE Oct 7 as retaliation. Bill Maher sitting there lecturing younger people about being "triggered" and "brainwashed" for not thinking that an old, coddled, idiot boomer like himself without the guts to debate the people he regularly and despicably demonizes, is precisely why Zionism will join Nazism in history.

You don't get to tell young people they know nothing when you're sitting there in a circlej*rk with Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens.

Well of 10/7 is just another day in the war let the war go on then. But all wars will have civilian casualties. Are you ok with that? Civilians casualties on both sides, not just the side you don't agree with?

Oh, hon, no. You don't get to pull this snarky crap after ignoring almost a century of Zionist Jews raping, torturing, killing, degrading and stealing land with the media treating them like victims when there's anything resembling fighting back by Palestinians, to pull this "both sides" bullsh*t over ONE day where most of the people killed were by Israel itself, there were no f***ing baked Jewish babies or beheaded babies and there was no mass rape. The President of the US lied to his own people for a foreign country which has lied about everything from peace deals to leaving Gaza to all of the wars fought and who actually instigated all of them. Accept that you've lied to by the media and govt about what the US has chosen to defend.

These are the psychos people think give a sh*t about the Holocaust. Tell us again it's only Bibi...

"I am personally proud of the holocaust of Gaza, and that 80 years from now, they will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did” --The Israeli Minister of Social Equality."

Go to the link...these demons say it out loud. They're proud if being this evil:

Profanity, insults, ad hominem attacks do not scare me or force me to change my analysis and opinion. "oh hon, no"? Who are you, the opinion police? I stand by what I said.

Translation: I'll ignore the depraved beliefs and actions of Israelis on full-display, and instead pretend to be insulted and just deflect, so as not to actually have to face the fact that I defend the indefensible.

I like that you're like this. It's precisely why fewer and fewer people give a damn what you think. You're immoral.

Middle East conflict is just generational feuding among siblings (Semites). Half the Semites broke away from the Hebrews and formed their own religion (Islam) and now have forgotten why they fight each other at all.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Zionism rearing its ugly head in the ME at the turn of the 20th Century started this. Stop telling yourself this tiresome lie about Jews and Muslims fighting.
The very reason Jews went back to the ME was because they were protected from Euro Christians who massacred them whether during the Inquisition, Holocaust, etc. ARAB Jews were a part of every ME country. Wealthy, prominent, educated and in govt. Guess why they're now called "Mizrahi" Jews?

It's quite galling watching Zionist Jews get all buddy-buddy with Europe and projecting the actual antisemitism from that continent to defend massacring people who had nothing to do with what Europe and Christianity has done to Jews for a thousand years. What it shows is that Zionist Jews (who are predominantly Ashkenazi) are racist first before they are Jewish.

Well if your whole argument is that a set of people are evil incarnate and anything they do is evil and everything they say is a lie, that covers it all, doesn't it? Nothing else to say? Your desires vs theirs are ultimately credible and good. Thanks for clearning things up. No more discussion needed. The U.S. needs to eliminate all these evil people, right?

Yes, this is your religion. Achiving a Palestinian state is a religion. Anyone neutral to this cause is evil and immoral. Your stand on this shows your Righteousness or Evilness as a human. Nothing else.

well if you think 10/7 was just another battle in an ongoing war, nothing unique, let the war go on. People and babies died before that day, they died on that day, they are dying now, so I am confused by all the uproar for ceasefire? Why not call for ceasefire on 10/6/23.

This is the thing with snappy comebacks such as yours. Yes, anyone can form a "what about" respone to anything anyone says. But the responses will not always hold up to the logic test. Logic, not emotion, matters to some people.

It’s called proportionality, genius.

No, its call winning vs losing. If a side is feeling that it is getting beat up, it should quit. Surrender. Telling the other side to "treat us nicer" never works. Or is shoud not have started a fight in the first place. Tale as old as time.

There are goddamned laws that govern wartime actions, you degenerate. Laws that were enacted after Jews had their asses handed to them 80 years ago.

The fact that you NOW want to disavow Israel (if all countries, FFS) having to observe such laws in your perverse defense of your own radical, extremist Zionist worldview just adds you to the list of people who make up the problem that the rest of us will have to figure out how to deal with and clean up …

Well, this is what you think. That is your right.

Do you selectively recognize laws in your personal life, too?

You can spout all the Anti-Jewish stuff you want, but it doesn't change the historical fact that Jews and Muslims have been fighting for centuries and will continue to fight for centuries until one of them either man's up and wins or they are both decimated.

I have no dog in the fight, and COULDN'T CARE LESS about their conflicts. It's a family spat, so USA should stay out of it.

Let them fight if they want. USA doesn't need to be the referee or Kareneque busy-body of the world.

There are international laws that govern wartime actions - Fact.

They were enacted in response to Jews getting their asses handed to them 80 years ago - Fact.

You argued that Israel is not obligated to recognize those laws, nor the law of proportionality, but instead can respond in any manner it sees fit - Fact.

So you dispute irrefutable facts. Does that sum it up?

Why?

Because context matters.

It would be distasteful for an elected official to say that, but it’s not judged through the same lens when a comedian with a show focused on pushing the envelope on such issues says it.

Trust me: nobody wants to live in a world where comics are silenced—particularly the ones focused on politics and pop culture.

I guess what strikes me is that no comedian would joke this way about 10/7 and if you are trying to make a case that Israel is acting in a reasonable manner setting up the case dehumanizing others makes me think you are pretty biased to begin with.

Sorry, PP.

The poster above you gets it. Just gets it.

You don’t want to ignore our comic sages. You just don’t, trust me. Their depth of knowledge makes political science professors tremble. They know about sneering about those dumbassed kids who know nothing got it? Respectfully, if you’re not twisting your mouth into a sneer while being reductive about his store ree then you’re not advancing the conversation in a productive way. If Jon Meecham isn’t smiling uncomfortably while you make your Points, why are you even opening your whore month here? Respectfully.

Bill Maher just spat truth. Accept it. Thanks.

LOL, Bill Maher won't debate anyone. Why in the hell do you think him sitting there with no one challenging him, means he "spat truth"? Please just stop thinking him reflecting your own lack of history and education is "truth."

It was sarcastic. No one with depth and a brain confuses Bill Maher for someone with depth and a brain.

Jews and Muslims have not been fighting for centuries. Fighting did not take place between Jews and Arabs until after the Zionist movement began. And as another PP pointed out these were European Jews not the Middle Eastern Jews who had co-existed peacefully with the Arab population for centuries.

And one more thing--it is Arabs, not Muslims. The Israelis may despise Christian Arabs more than Muslim Arabs because they know that atrocities against Christians don't play as well in the west as atrocities against Muslims.

Well Arabs could have stopped fighting after they lost the war(s). Win a war if you want to get what you want. Trying to convince people that Jews are inherently evil isn't going to get you anything. You are not going to convince anyone that a people group is evil just because you say so.

The very reason Jews went back to the ME was because they were protected from Euro Christians who massacred them whether during the Inquisition, Holocaust, etc. ARAB Jews were a part of every ME country. Wealthy, prominent, educated and in govt. Guess why they're now called "Mizrahi" Jews?

It's quite galling watching Zionist Jews get all buddy-buddy with Europe and projecting the actual antisemitism from that continent to defend massacring people who had nothing to do with what Europe and Christianity has done to Jews for a thousand years. What it shows is that Zionist Jews (who are predominantly Ashkenazi) are racist first before they are Jewish.

You can spout all the Anti-Jewish stuff you want, but it doesn't change the historical fact that Jews and Muslims have been fighting for centuries and will continue to fight for centuries until one of them either man's up and wins or they are both decimated.

I have no dog in the fight, and COULDN'T CARE LESS about their conflicts. It's a family spat, so USA should stay out of it.

Let them fight if they want. USA doesn't need to be the referee or Kareneque busy-body of the world.

Jews and Muslims have not been fighting for centuries. Fighting did not take place between Jews and Arabs until after the Zionist movement began. And as another PP pointed out these were European Jews not the Middle Eastern Jews who had co-existed peacefully with the Arab population for centuries.

And one more thing--it is Arabs, not Muslims. The Israelis may despise Christian Arabs more than Muslim Arabs because they know that atrocities against Christians don't play as well in the west as atrocities against Muslims.

Well Arabs could have stopped fighting after they lost the war(s). Win a war if you want to get what you want. Trying to convince people that Jews are inherently evil isn't going to get you anything. You are not going to convince anyone that a people group is evil just because you say so.

Gee, I guess no one told you about the Brits breaking promises when the Arabs DID win.

Imagine defending the side that blew up the USS Liberty to drag America into wars even back then. How many years has Israel been doing this now? Watching dumb Americans defend being led around like a pet, is quite sad.

And this sums up slime like Bill Maher: "Most Zionists don't believe that God exists, but they do believe that he promised them Palestine" Ilan Pappe

Zionists think they get to arbitrarily decide when history starts and then revise it to suit their bullsh*t take on history.
